Sorry grellis, for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it. I'll try to find it. It was on a list of categories I saw sometime within the last two weeks. I remember noting the classification when I first saw the list. If I can find it, I'll get back to you.

Overall, its a drama anyway, with elements of fantasy. I put off reading the book for years, thinking that it would be too fantastic. The first time I read the book I realized that its more...historical mythology? Mythological history? After my first read I went through "Silmarillion," then "The Hobbit," then a second time through LOTR but instead of just reading it I really studied it, just as if it were a history lesson. Fantasy is not a word which springs to my mind when I think of LOTR.
